Post the words of the Pope. As your source, please use a reputable CATHOLIC one. I ROUTINELY have to spend my time debunking the lies, inaccuracies, errors, stupidities, frauds etc issuing from sites devoted to attacking Jesus
Nicholas Copernicus, who first advanced the contrary doctrine that the sun and not the earth is the centre of our system, round which our planet revolves, rotating on its own axis. His great work, "De Revolutionibus orblure coelestium", was published at the earnest solicitation of two distinguished churchmen, Cardinal Schömberg and Tiedemann Giese, Bishop of Culm. It was dedicated by permission to Pope Paul III in order, as Copernicus explained, that it might be thus protected from the attacks which it was sure to encounter on the part of the "mathematicians" (i.e. philosophers) for its apparent contradiction of the evidence of our senses, and even of common sense. He added that he made no account of objections which might be brought by ignorant wiseacres on Scriptural grounds. Indeed, for nearly three quarters of a century no such difficulties were raised on the Catholic side...
*Also, bac, you forgot to note that Calvin taught that science was evil and forbade his followers from studying it
Good point, son.
False attacks on Galileo are meant to indict the Catholic Church as an enemy of science when it was, in fact, the Catholic Church which preserved and advanced science. In fact, the error-filled work this thread is based upon was done at a University.
Right,son
Who invented the University? The Catholic Church
Yup. Good point.
BTW, note the INELUCTABLE patern reproduced here. The topic of the thread has dissolved and something else has taken its place.
Right you are, man. It happens ALL the time
It was a Papal condemnation. The Pope, according to the Inquisition file, "directed the Lord Cardinal Bellarmine to summon before him the said Galileo and admonish him to abandon the said opinion; and, in the case of his refusal to obey, the Commissary of the Holy Office is to enjoin him...to abstain altogether from teaching or defending this opinion and even from discussing it."

You mean you want me to use one which claims the Pope is always infallible.

Who said anything about Jesus? We are discussing this silly notion of a man being infallible on any subject, not the Divinity of Christ.

So the Roman Catholic Church is Jesus?
